I learnt today that in 1940 there was a series of terrorist attacks around New York. It was a group calling themselves the Christian Front, and was led by a catholic priest called Father Coughlin. They blew up the biggest dynamite factory in the US and three other armament factories. They were part financed by the Nazis.
The FBI amassed a ton of evidence and plans of mass murder of jews and serving troops. Dispite this, the jgovernment fucked up the prosecution and all were acquitted.
I learned about this recently from Rachel Maddow’s Ultra podcast. It’s a crazy story and really puts current events into a better perspective. Highly recommended.
One of them will likely go down in history, hundreds of years from now, recognized as a notable military commander.
The other will be “that guy who wanted to be ‘Rich Hitler’”
The Covid response was far worse than anything Bin Laden ever dreamed of.

Me too. Fascinating!
Pretty upsetting that it isn’t part of US history classes.
I’m sure Texas would ban those school books, so Houghton Mifflin doesn’t even bother.
